Along with these ends, it is constantly sought to cultivate true womanliness, a womanli- ness which combines strength with gentleness and refinement. It is thus the aim of the College to send out educated Chris- tian women to be a power in blessing the world and glorify- ing God. The College was founded by Presbyterians, and hence its moral standards and religious life conform as nearly as possible to those which obtain in that church. Special care, however, is taken not to interfere in any way with the re- ligious views or church preferences of students. The College offers only the B.A. degree. There are, however, optional courses leading to this degree, thus giving the opportunity for each student to elect a course most in accord with her special talent and plans. : Admission of Students 13 ADMISSION OF STUDENTS All correspondence in reference to admission of students should be addressed to the President of the College. Applicants for admission should not be under sixteen years of age. Candidates for advanced standing should be of an age corresponding to this rule. Exceptions are allowed for satisfactory reasons. Testimonials of good character from responsible persons are required. Certificates of honorable dismission from the last school attended must be presented. A deposit of $10.00 is necessary for the reservation of space, which amount will be credited on bill rendered at be- ginning of season. This fee will be refunded, provided the President is notified of change of plan before August 1st. Application blanks will be furnished when requested. For entrance requirements and for description of entrance subjects, see below. For admission by certificate, see page 19. For entrance examinations, see page 20. ENTRANCE SUBJECTS The following subjects are accepted for entrance English 3 units Mathematics 3 or 4 units Latin 3 or 4 units History 1, 2 or 2^^ units French 2 or 3 units German 2 or 3 units Greek 2 or 3 units Spanish 2 units : 14 Agnes Scott College Physics 1 unit Chemistry 1 unit Biology Botany % or 1 unit Zoology y^. or 1 unit Physiology % unit Physiography i^ unit *Bible 1 unit A unit represents a year's study in a standard secondary school, constituting approximately a quarter of a full year's work. It is understood that in choosing the elective units no re- quired unit may be counted also as an elective unit, and also that elective units may be counted only once. The fourth unit in Latin and the unit in addition to the required 3 units in Mathematics will be accepted for en- trance only by examination, when the student does not con- tinue these subjects in College. Both Physics and Chemistry when not offered for entrance must be taken in College, and when both are offered for entrance, an advanced course in one or the other must be taken in College. The entrance requirement work in French, German, and Greek may be done in College after entrance, but will not count toward the degree.
